In another fred I mentioned that I ripped a bunch of CDs to this PC and then to a thumb drive to use in my car. I'm loving it. Almost 200 hours of songs I like with no interruptions, and they're wave files.! The drive is just over half full!
And I didn't even delve into the Classical section yet. 
This is technology I love.

However, some of the data didn't transfer. The car radio display will show the song titles but not the artists. That's okay: I know who it is.

I've got a digital walkman with over 10,000 songs on it, and set to play in random order. I have a huge record/tape/CD collection and I spent some time making mp3s, originally on an iPod.  Storage was limited, or I would have done WAV when I started.

I play it in the car, and found most Classical rips had too much dynamic response to be enjoyed in the bumper car  (I gig where alcohol is served, so I call my minivan the bumper car).

Looks like they actually both exist for real, and the one that has a website is kinda funny

I love that idea, but....

They';ll never do that here.  It costs money to build and maintain and it doesn't cause enough problems for those not doing the thing they're there to prevent.  :(

 

It's much easier to dump a few pounds of asphalt or concrete in an inappropriate place with plenty of warnings to let speeders slow down just before they hit it but speed back up right afterward.  

 

There are various places around here where speeding in neighborhoods is a real problem, but instead of emphasizing the speed limits and the problems they can cause, with all the signage leading up to the speed bump, there are just signs warning that there is a speed bump ahead, usually several.   There may nto even *be* a speed limit sign anywhere around, or a warning of why (like "caution: kids playing" or whatever).
